Project Team
We are an interdisciplinary, scientific team with diverse backgrounds in the psychology of human movement, social cognitive neuroscience and human movement science/biomechanics as well as computer science. In addition, our team is supported by student assistants from sports science and psychology.

"Social interactions drive our species, yet their complexity makes them challenging to study. This project fascinates me for its methodological and conceptual challenges—understanding human-to-human interactions and translating them into real-time, immersive human-to-avatar interactions. By leveraging machine learning, VR, and AR, we can explore, test, and shape social dynamics, advancing human-robot interaction, education, therapy and many more, and generally, deepening our understanding of what it means to be in a social interaction."

"When it comes to my passion for computer science/game development, I am constantly looking for opportunities to meet and overcome new challenges. Especially when doing interdisciplinary research, I enjoy combining my expertise with that of people from other fields and working together towards a solution. As part of the Momentum project, I am in an environment where-with my skill set-I can contribute towards science and support the research of the entire team. This amazing team's willingness to learn from one another allows me to fulfill my role as an important team member, while also improving my own abilities based on my colleagues' feedback."

“As a Sport Science student, I am interested in research and understanding how people perceive movement and make decisions. This is why I find the Interactive Anticipation Lab and the combination of virtual reality and motion capture especially exciting. I am looking forward to gaining new insights into research, developing practical experience, and supporting the team in its projects.”
